A fact from Bhai Gurdas appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 December 2006. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Bhai Gurdas was the original scribe of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhism? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/December.

I disagree as to that Bhai Gurdas was a missionary as this implies that his intention was to get people to give up their original faiths. I feel preacher would be a more appropriate term as he was trying to spread the word of the Guru to influence peoples thoughts and actions and not so much get them to give up their original faith.

I propose changing the class of this article under the Sikhism WikiProject to Start from B as the article is not mostly complete and should have more information added and reference support. I also propose to change the importance from High to Low as it is not required for a broad understanding of Sikhism but perhaps for an in-depth understanding Tindy1986 (talk) 13:30, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
